Accelerated Networking on Session Host VMs

The Azure VM accelerated networking feature is available in some of the larger Azure VMs.

This feature is useful for enterprise organizations and IT professionals who need to deploy, manage, and optimize large amounts of Azure Virtual Desktops. It speeds up networking performance of individual VMs.

To enable and apply accelerated networking on session host VMs in the workspace:

  1. Locate the host pool you want to work with.

  2. From the action menu, select Properties > VM Deployment.

  3. Select Enable Accelerated Networking for VMs that support it.

    Note: If this feature is not supported on your Azure VM, it is not enabled. See this Microsoft document for more information.

  4. Select Save or Save & close.

    The process is automatically performed.
